"The End never looked so good"
This is a great expansion to one of the best RPGs of all time. I loved this game. I only have one major gripe about it that made me give it 4 stars. When I played BG2:SoA, after i would complete a sidequest and try to talk to the person i completed it for so that i could get the XP, it said he appears busy!! So then i would wait numerous days (completing other side quests in the process) to get the XP i should have gotten way earlier. But other than that it was one of the best expansions to a game ever.

"A little disappointed"
I loved BGII so much I played through it multiple times with different characters and trying to complete all of the romance subquests. When I finally got the expansion, I was disappointed to find the entire thing was one long, tedious, drawn out battle and you no longer had the freedom of wandering wherever you wanted. Also, the NPC interaction and subplots and the romances were the most interesting part of BGII and were for the most part absent from the expansion. As much as I loved BGII, this left me disappointed.

"Must-have for Baldur's Gate II players only"
This is an expansion and should be considered like one. It does not improve upon the original Baldur's Gate II so much that I would buy BGII just to play this expansion (the way I would buy Starcraft just to play its expansion, Brood Wars).

For those who already own BGII, however, this is an investment more than worth the money. The new areas (especially the now-infamous Watcher's Keep) are fairly challenging, the new spells, skills, and items are almost mind-boggling in their sheer ...-kicking power, and there's a brand new (if not terribly original) storyline to boot. You'll definitely want this expansion if you wanted to play the Bhaalspawn saga to its bloody end.

As an added bonus, Throne of Bhaal allows players to use the 'Tab' key to highlight items on the ground, chests, doors, etc. While this may not sound like much of an improvement, now that I have it I can't imagine playing BGII without it.

"Well...."
One thing that gets me is that whenever I get around a Black Isle product, I have to buy it. I have definately not been disappointed. This expansion kit is definately worth it, but if you go too attached to character and NPC conversations, you'll be disappointed here. The graphics and story line continue to be first rate, but it seems as though BI went back to the BGI format as far as interaction and NPC freewill in BGII:ToB. There also seemed to be a problem with continuing the game from BGII:SoA into ToB. There was a big problem continuing with the party at the first of the game, and some of the graphics tend to slow the game if your processor isn't top-notch. It seemed as though BI rushed this a little. The expansion pack is a worthwhile buy as long as you are interested in more adventure and level gains and didn't get too attached to character interactions and conversations from SoA. B+

"This Could Have Been more"
Don't get me wrong, I think the expansion packet is great; But this had the makings to be another chapter in the baulder's gate saga. I love the Watcher's Keep saga and the story line over all. I wished Bioware could have spent a little more time on developing this into a whole new game, it just seems like they tried to get out so they can end this and go on to something else. The game itself is fun, what I like is that you can upgrade your weapons like the holy avenger which kicks butt into something even more powerful. I also like the quivers and bags of unlimited ammo; keeping tack of all that is a pain.
What I don't like is the spell "Time Stop". It's used too much and your characters get killed before they get a chance to [...] in their pants. Like that Draconis (now that guy is a [...]). You can whack at him all day and he still WON'T die! Because he'll cast time stop and heal himself and then kill your characters. If they choose to return to this saga, please limit the ammount of times Time Stop can be cast by the enemy.

What our customer's say!

"WHEN cRPGs TOUCHED THE SKY...", This was the LONGEST the MOST FUN game I have ever played! And, mind you, I am not an easy customer (feel free to browse through my reviews, you will see what I mean...)

The original BG series was excellent in all of storyline, gameplay, music and stability. Now, nowadays, sequels usually mean a graphically-improved expansion (at best). BG2 is a rare exception of the sequel clearly SURPASSING the original. And in the case of such great original, this means a lot!

Words fail to describe the perfect harmony of brilliant ideas, interweaved story-lines and detailed coding that makes this game an unsurpassable classic! Do not let the slightly outdated graphics discourage you. They were cutting edge only some years ago - and you will be able to unleash their full potential even on mid-range PCs!

I have yet to meet anyone who has played it and not raved about it! Hard-core D&D funs will find the character building, fighting checks and balances and overall experience very close to the actual pen-&-paper games.
Casual computer gamers will notice none of the tedious stuff of other cRPGs as the gameplay runs smooth and beautifully.
You even have the choice to turn it into either a turn-based or an action game by tweaking the auto-pause options! I am telling you: this is how computers games should be!

You will let yourself get lost in the deep dungeons of the labyrinthic story; you will be laughing out loud to the humorous dialog; you will be surprised as to who is a double and triple-agent.
There is an evil beyond imagining unleashed and only you with your party can stand in its way.
Party members offer a multitude of unpredictable balancing points and diverging story-lines of their own: side quests, conflicts and love affairs enrich the story in so many original ways!

An unsurpassed classic!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

"Fun, though leaves some problems", If you are going to buy this game you will need to go to Baldurdash's page and download some of the things on his site for it. You can increase the difficulty of the battles (actually makes for a truely epic and HARD final boss) and also fixes some plot points that were removed (Imoen's bhall taint finally manifesting, Saravok dialogue options).

The quests in this game are definately a challenge, and for the most part very fun. The biggest problem is that there really are not any side quests worth talking about. The plot is very see through, I thought, and really you don't see many new things that will take your breath away.

With that said the game does have its merrits. If you like BGII and don't mind a more liner plot then you will love this game. The addition of feats allows everyone to continue getting stronger and helps remove the problems of a ceiling for fighter types (after all, once you get to a certain point you just always hit).

The ending battle, when not modified, is not too terribly difficult. On the other hand, the modded end battle is definately not for those who are easily frustrated as you will most likely try and fail many MANY times.

If you want a definate ending to the game then you should give this game a try. However, if you don't feel to strongly about it then consider avoiding it since it is pretty much just more of the same. Don't expect a plot that will draw you into what is going on.

"Excellent! (4 1/2 stars)", This expansion is a great conclusion to an excellent computer game. Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal gets right everything that was good about the first 2 games. The character development and party dynamic are still the best in any computer RPG that I have played. The story centers around discovering your destiny as the offspring of an evil god. You and your band of adventurers will go through towns, forests, mountains, dungeons, and even another plane of existence. There are many new spells, magic items, weapons, armor, and monsters, and the pocket plane idea is a really nice touch. The isometric view and graphics are still pleasant to view, and the dramatic music is among the best in any game I've played. The story is well told and measures up to the high standards set in the first 2 games. Actually, the suspense in this expansion really draws you in, sort of like the final chapter in part 1. I docked the game a half star for two reasons: one of the levels of Watcher's Keep had a maze and a couple of puzzles that were too frustrating to be fun. Also, when I kill something/somebody I want it to be dead, not to come back again and again (a problem that I had with Shadows of Amn). There were no real bugs that I noticed, besides a few spelling errors, one frozen cut-scene, and a few cases in which spell casters simply would not cast spells at key times during combat. This last problem was especially frustrating since magic use is so central to winning fights in this expansion. Otherwise, this is a grand conclusion to one of my favorite computer game series. Highly recommended.

"This should have been a whole new game!", I love BSG II. And when I got this, it was such a let down. It has cool battle's and a decent plot but I think BlackIsle could have put a little more effort into this and make this a new game (aka BSG III). I give this two stars because it does have potential. But overall, a big disapointment.

"Well worth the money and time.", Buying a video game is like watching a movie, its not so much the cost of the game but whether it will be worth playing once you get it. This game is definitely worth the time and money. I spend most of my gaming hours playing everquest but Warcraft the Baldur's gate series are the only other PC games I play these days on a regular basis.

"I thought Icewind Dale was the Dungeon Crawl", Ok, most of my gripes about this game come from me being a D&D player. First of all, the max levels you can get in D&D is 30, not 40, and if you're level 40 pretty much the only thing that can hurt you is a god. There were probably a couple hundred mortals in this who could beat you down. Where the heck did they come from? It seems like they gathered every mortal in the .0000005% of the population over level 10 and put them in one region!

Now, a non-D&D gripe, the first 2 BG games were good because they offered a few multiple ways of solving quests. In ToB all there was was dungeon crawling and fighting. They turned the BG series into an action game! Its supposed to be an RPG!! Anyway, if you like hours of fighting unrealistic enemies go for it. If not, pass. Its still fun, just not even close to the first 2.

Lets put it this way. All bhaalspawn have cool powers, its just that yours is to gain 60,000 experience for picking up a rock.

"The Grand Finale", The last chapters of the Child of Bhaal saga, the grand finale. Throne of Bhaal is an expansion to Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn and thus you need SoA to be able to play Throne of Bhaal. Throne of Bhaal takes off exactly where Shadows of Amn left off and continues your travels. Alot is revealed in Throne of Bhaal, both of your past, and of what will be your future.
The storyline is much more linear than in Shadows of Amn, not nearly as many subplots, the story concentrates much more on the main plot. No need to say, at this time in the game you are at an almost godlike level, and the xp cap is at a stunning 8.000.000 experience points! You can make a new character directly in Throne of Bhaal, your character will start with ample experience points and magic items and equipment.
You will still have access to the NPC's that you had in Shadows of Amn, and the character interaction has(once again) been expanded. The plot is well crafted, and is entertaining, if not quite as good as the one in Shadows of Amn.
All said, Throne of Bhaal offers a worthy ending for the saga, satisfying your need for a conclusion of the story

"good addition to an awesome game", If you are like me, then you are absolutely addicted to Baldur's Gate, and Baldur's Gate II. This is why I had to get Throne of Bhaal. To fully appreciate it though you must start form the beginning. It adds many new items character options, classes, and spells. Once you beat the main story of baldur's gate II and move into the Throne of Bhaal story line. The game becomes more hack and slash which doesn't appeal to me. That is why I gave it a 4 of 5 star rating.

"Cant stop.", Finished BG II doing Throne of Bhaal, must finish. This game grabs you and wont let go. Great finish to series.

"A worthy successor to the great �Shadows of Amn�", I enjoyed playing "Throne of Bhaal". The new areas are fun, and so are the riddles, monsters, and quests that you find in the expansion pack.

"Throne of Bhaal" adds quite a few special high level abilities, and a lot of new items. The potion cases, ammo belt (for storing all of those extra arrows and bolts), and the +3 ammunition were all great additions. There is a new set of unique magic items that one of the characters can forge for you, using pieces that you find scattered throughout the game (like the dwarven blacksmith in "Shadows of Amn"). The new monsters are wicked and intimidating.

However, the best part about Throne of Bhaal is that it continues the same ingenious design and attention to detail that was present in "Baldurs Gate 2. Each new area looks brilliant. Each quest is different. The conversations between the NPC's are entertaining, and the voice acting is great. You do meet one new NPC who can join you early on (it's an old "friend" of yours - don't worry, you'll see). The game has a lot of unique challenges which require you to read the books or parchments that you find in order to solve them.

The saga has run its course though. The storyline has been stretched about as far as it can go. Perhaps too far. The "Bhaalspawn" theme lost its appeal for me long before I finished this game. On every street corner, there is some legendary godlike Bhaalspawn, or some prophet that has predicted your coming for the past 100 years. How is it that the rest of the world never noticed all of these Godlike characters running around? There is lots of yammering on about fulfilling your destiny, and the taint of your soul, etc. etc. The dialogue plays out like a bad Star Wars parody. Especially the dialogue that involves Imoen.

One big flaw of this game is that there are so many magic resistant and spell-proof creatures that my magic-users hardly ever cast anything more than a handful of the same spells. The spell protection and combat protection magic is BADLY overdone in this game. There is way too much magic vs. counter-magic combat. The fighters totally dominate this game, and mages just cast a handful of magic and combat protection removal spells over and over. Every tough beast is resistant to your fireballs and acid arrows, so there is no point in casting them. There is no balance whatsoever at these high levels, and that is why I gave the game 4 stars instead of 5.
